Title: files not playing automatically.
Post by: Blaine78 on January 14, 2013, 08:37:45 pm

Issue when playing video or audio outside of JRiver library. If JRiver is shut down, and i double click a file on my HDD to open with JRiver, JR will open, but not play the file. i have to double click again to play. not sure which build it started happening, but most recent 112 build has this issue.

thanks MrC.
no idea why not for me. just to clarify, JRiver plays immediately if shut down and opening with double click of a file?

Try uninstall/reinstall.  Perhaps something got corrupted?  This is just a stab in the dark, but its easy to test.

thanks, i just tried complete uninstall, and reinstalled. i tried it without settings and library back up restored and it worked! but soon as a add previous settings, it fails. something wrong in the library/settings backup it seems
